You had a great summer. Memories have been made, maybe you went on a trip or two, maybe you had relatives who came to visit you. Even if you had a quiet summer, people want to celebrate while they can and that’s when an end-of-summer party is just what the doctor ordered.
End of summer parties can be in the backyard, on the beach, at the cabana, or anywhere you like. There are no set rules except have fun and make the most of the season before the fall winds, back to school, and back to reality.
But what are you going to do? A pool party? A themed party like a casino night or a costume party? Relaxed or formal, no matter what you do as long as you run with your theme and make it a night / day / weekend to remember.
With a barbecue it’s pretty easy, set up the grill and start from there. Make it a potluck to add interest, or go with the tried and true hot dogs and burgers, chicken, chops, and steak. Set up a do-it-yourself bar or place large ice-filled tubs around the backyard so guests can help themselves to drinks. To add something different, you can rent an ice cream machine or ice cream bike that someone can pedal around handing out treats. Kids always like cotton candy and nachos go perfectly with beer and, coincidentally, you can also rent both machines to eat on the go.
Don’t have a pool? No problem, as you can always rent an inflatable pool and slide combination. They set up quickly and provide hours of fun for kids of all ages. If you don’t want to add water to the bouncy fun, there are tons of options for bouncy castles, houses, and play areas that don’t require anyone to get wet for fun.
Luckily for us, we can rent just about anything we need for any party, from an animal show (petting zoo or pony rides), to an adult casino night (cards, chips, games) and anything in between. . Make it fun, make it memorable, and make it a buzzword for years to come. After all, summer is fleeting and you want to make the most of it while you can. Enjoy your end of summer!
